When he was fishing in the Anduin with his cousin Déagol, the latter discovered the One Ring of Power. Since Sméagol was so taken with the ring, he strangled his cousin to claim it as his own. Outcasted from his family and the other villagers, he retreated into the Misty Mountains and became the figure of Gollum over a period of 400 years. He has a split personality and calls the One ring "my own, my precious." He plays a key role in both of Tolkien's stories "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" in determining the fate over Middle Earth.
